Pocomail and Outpost firewall. [Mod: OutPost bug]

EDIT,
Problem fixed, Agnitum released an update 2 hours ago.
-----------------------------------------------------

Hi folks,
I was lumpy, I changed my ISP and of course I changed my email address in my profile.

Then I just had to forget my username and password to log in so I had to re-register.

Anyway, I know (I think) the answer to this question but I have to ask it.
I run Vista x64. PocoMail is my trusty email program, I will never replace it with something else.

I used Agnitum Outpost firewall since it was first released.
I installed vista x64. Then I installed all my programs.
All was OK untill I tried to send emails, they would not go, nor could I receive any. The Pocomail indicator was active in the sys tray though it did not stop. The email I tried to send was popped up and not sent. Then I could not get out on the 'net.
Then I tried disabling Outpost with no success.
Only when I un-installed it were my emails sent & received.

That is what happened, I could not fix it.
I contacted Agnitum who gave me things to try, no success there.
I spent 2 weeks trying this and that but only un-installing Outpost worked.
Could Pocomail cause that, I very much doubt it.

I got the Comodo free firewall and it works OK.

I've just been given a link to a new Outpost update by them, but it is for x32. Have to wait for the proper link.

any ideas,

Hi ianw & welcome to Poco Forums,

EDIT,
Problem fixed, Agnitum released an update 2 hours ago.

Thanks for letting us know.

I've been using OutPost in the past, but had to put it aside after some buggy releases which cut off my internet connection, as well as some BSOD's.

Edit: Changes in Outpost Firewall Pro 2009 (build 6.5.2358.316.0607), 15 July 2008:
The following issues are resolved (only significant ones are listed):
* Connections were blocked on sending attachments through POP3
* Improved overall system performance

I sincerely hope they'll be able to rectify what's been going on for some time.
For me I'm done with testing OutPost. Got Look 'N Stop now, also used Comodo, Webroot & PCTools.
Those didn't give me any problems, although Comodo can be overwhelming by those pop-ups from Defense+.

Hope you'll get the correct link pretty soon, so let me know how it turns out.

Edit: added update to OutPost

I have been using Outpost for years. Using Outpost Security Suite now. No problems ever with PocoMail.
